I want to make a minor correction. Michael says that Submarines have allowed us to go deeper than we ever thought possible. In Jules Verne's famous 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the Nautilus reached as far as 16 kilometers undersea, deeper than the challenger deep. Of course, this novel is fiction, but when it was written, Jules Verne was writing speculative fiction, so you could interpret this as how far down he thought humans might one day descend.
of all the things in the sea that fascinate me the most intriguing are the lakes. The brine pools filled with water so dense that it doesn't mix with the surrounding seawater, creating an underwater lake with waves and a shore and an ecosystem all its own.
I know a bit about those. The brine pools tend to be so salty that nothing can live in them for long. However, they tend to be vital sources of nutrients for nearby communities, which live right at their edge and try to balance safety with resource collection. This is the biggest one I know of: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orca_Basin Maybe you can help study it?
School only gives you a bace understanding on things you "need" to know for your future... but you'll still be pretty 🤪 Keep learning everyday😁👍 you get good smrt in no time
I'm surprised you didn't have a number 6: AUVs An AUV or Autonomous Underwater Vehicle is a class of UUV (Unmanned Underwater Vehicle) similar to ROVs except (as they name implies) they are capable of running autonomously. This provides something of a tradeoff when compared to ROVs. Unlike ROVs, AUVs don't need an umbilical to provide power and constant input from a manned surface vessel. Instead a survey pattern can be programmed into the vehicle prior to launch and once sent on its way the vehicle will dive and happily carry out its mission under battery power. Because you cant directly use GPS underwater, they generally rely on a suite of sensors including Inertial Navigation Systems, Doppler Velocity Loggers, acoustic positioning beacons and other sensors to stay on course. The tradeoff with an AUV is that without a human in direct control, it's not always feasible to change your plan or react to new discoveries made along the way, instead you have to collect and review your data when you recover the vehicle at the end of its mission, and then plan the next mission accordingly. These robots are on the bleeding edge of ocean exploration today, and the management software, onboard AI, and sensor systems are becoming more and more sophisticated at an accelerating pace. New and improved systems are being developed all the time that allow these robots to make intelligent, on-the-fly decisions based on the data they gather and to work in fleets with multiple AUVs to explore even larger areas in a given time. It's a pretty exciting field to be involved with, and you get to see and do a lot of amazing things!
That sounds fantastic. I'm suddenly very excited to see how this technology develops. Plus your obvious enthusiasm and joy for the subject is palpable. This was a treat to read. Thanks!
I was amazed to see two marine researchers moving an ROV down a sidewalk on a caster-dolly one summer; I instantly knew I was seeing a small fortune compacted into an instrument the size of a dishwasher.
If you guys are ever visiting the florida keys, you should check out the History of Diving Museum in Islamorada, florida. Some of the picture of the suits were taken at this museum.
Fascinating episode. SciShow, you do us science fans all proud. The deep ocean .... it definitely rivals space for feeding the exploration bug. I suspect I suffer from thalassophobia, what with my fear of the deep dark depths, but that sense is coupled with an equally-strong curiosity. I'm blown away that James Cameron achieved what he did - and I salute the operators involved with the Alvin in the 70s for their discovery of the mid-ocean ridges and the vents. That discovery kicked off a fascinating line of ongoing research into worlds like Europa and Enceledus. There's so much wonder in the Universe and perhaps it's not surprising that many of those surprises feature liquid water.
I'd never go that deep in the ocean *shivers. I'd rather be in deep space, at least that way if something went wrong I'd still be able to see the stars as I died.
I'm really interested in RUVs / underwater drones. My long term dream is to live on a boat, and I imagine it would be really cool to have a semi-permanent drone below the boat streaming to a big 4k TV as a kind of "underwater window". Well maybe it depends on the location if that would be cool or ugly haha. I imagine building something like this yourself wouldn't even be that hard
For Context that "Exosuit" filthy name I prefer the Newt Suit. It can stay underwater for a bare minimum of 6 hours, and it has enough Back up Oxygen/Lifesupport for 2 Whole days! It is used normally for dives up to 300 meters, but it has been tested to function at even 900 meters deep. The main difficulty in an Atmospheric suit design is surprisingly or rather unsurprisingly the Joints. Because somehow they have to make it flexible enough that you can move it but at the same time also survive the immense pressure pushing down on it.
Yeah, same thought. It’s also just not how you advertise music, you advertise music by playing it. Not sure why they don’t intro and outro with a handful of seconds of the actual music
We need to be able to go deeper. I wanna see what All is at the bottom. Imagine all the cool things you would see, strange fish and plant life, different land masses, possibly dry caves... ship wrecks. So much stuff.
Re: trimix breathing: why do they use helium (which is very rare; found only in certain natural gas wells) instead of argon (which makes up approx. 1% of our general atmosphere) ?
Helium doesn't have the narcotic effects that nitrogen does on divers and isn't as dense. So it isn't as increasingly difficult to breath mechanically at depth and doesn't disorient divers more at the same time. Argon however is twice as narcotic as nitrogen and denser than air so it would disorientate more and be more difficult to breath. It is however used by divers to inflate their drysuits as it has better thermal qualities.
Inner Space is actually any area or ecosystem that is below sea level and is enclosed or encapsulated mostly somehow, so caves also count as Inner Space
Concerning maintenance of robotic probes in the ocean being easier than those in space: In the 1960s, if I remember the date correctly, MAD Magazine had a really hilarious cartoon. In it you see a person in a suite looking, in sticker shock, at a Bill for a satellite repair that has a LOT of zeros. Behind him is this really scruffy guy smoking a cigar with the label "NASA Satellite Maintenance" on his beaten-up baseball cap. He simply says in his word bubble, "We had to take it to the shop." One of the best cartoons ever...
Love the bibliography, one request about it though, could you put a word or two in front of the HTML link so we can see what it was the source for? I AM really, really tickled with the fact the sources are listed (with links even), but, I am also really, really lazy and wish I could tell which source is which before ..... diving in for some deep research into the subject the gulls and bouys at SciShow brought to my current attention. No pressure mind you, I wouldn't want to rock the boat over something that doesn't sink the channel.
Er, one error. DSV's are indeed made of titanium, they are WRAPPED in syntactic foam for buoyancy, but the pressure hull is indeed titanium, several inches thick.
While watching this video a link in my brain between two videos were made: What if humans could somehow use the deep oceanic pressure to create superconductors since a superconductor at a room temperature has been discovered that needs extreme pressures and then use the superconductor for human advantages (transport, research and stuff)? That would be awesome.
Hypothetically speaking, if a giant wall were to come out from the core to well above the water level all around say, the equator, separating the earth in half, including the oceans, would that effectively half the effect of water pressure as well? Or is water pressure more about the water directly above you at any given point rather than the total amount of water spread out above you?
3:00 ... Several hours of Air Supply... I mean, I can take a song or two, but several hours seems a bit much. After "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" what else have you got?
idk why but i just thought of this bit from Futurama *ship in deep ocean* fry: how many atmosopheres can the ship take? *creeking* professor: well it's a space ship so i'd say anywhere between 0 and 1
it's all fun and game strolling down the trench until your ROV says "detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region..." and makes you question your life choices
Question. Why couldn't we put an inner space station at the bottom of the sea where things like submersibles could dock to exchange crewmembers? We already have submarines that can stay under for over a week. Why not an international Ocean station?
My guesses would be that 1.) You would be damaging a potentially sensitive ecosystem by dropping a giant base down there 2.) Maintaining such a structure would be incredibly dangerous, difficult, AND expensive 3.) Aid would take forever to arrive were an emergency to occur down there and you'd have to find some way to contact the outside world that doesn't involve cell-phones or the internet because you wouldn't get any sort of satellite or radio signal at the bottom of the ocean 4.) Your only viable option for powering such a station would be nuclear because you're nowhere near any electrical grid which is again just really really expensive considering how risky the entire undertaking would be 5.) It just doesn't make much sense to go through ALL THAT just to hunker down in one single spot when it's just far far cheaper and simpler to do short missions with subs and ROVs wherever you want whenever you want
Crew would probably rather live on a boat in that case. And you can take your submersible all over with a boat rather than being stuck adventuring out from one spot. They've done this stuff for more shallow diving (SEALAB was a big one back in the 60s) and that way the crew could live at pressure and not need to decompress. But for sea floor type stuff (at depths where humans can't currently survive the pressures, I think 700m worth of pressure is the record and that's short term in a controlled environment) you're just adding another point of failure and a very expensive structure.
That's true of all manned exploratory equipment. If your space suit fails you'll either asphyxiate or basically freeze-dry depending on how much of your body is exposed to the vacuum.
@@ImieNazwiskoOK Not really. At the depths you use other equipment you might just survive if there's someone near you, as in there's a chance. At the depths these diving suits operate, though, even the smallest leak can lead to catastrophic failure and squish you, zero chance of survival.
@@biohazard724 Depending on what fails. Spacesuits failed many times but they survived many times. And you will freeze but after VERY long time, one astronaut had small hole and his skin sealed it and he realized it once he was back on board of ISS.
subnautica: your future submarine has reached it's maximum depth of 900 meters. better get out of it and continue with just your diving suit to avoid damage
Imagine getting locked in a clunky suit of armor and lowered into the deep darkness of the ocean, where do I sign up? I'd probably die of 50 consecutive terror induced heart attacks, before I'd make a quarter of the way down.
Hearing about things that can withstand crushing pressure gets me to wondering how hard it would be to make something that can survive in the upper atmosphere of Venus. Yea, I'm just weird like that.
Well even at the surface of Venus that submersible pressure suit would take the pressure as its similar to 1Km under the ocean. The upper atmosphere of Venus is comparable to Earth, about 50Km up. Venus surface = ~ 90 atmospheres, deepest part of the ocean = ~ 1100 atmospheres
Do you think all the lights are why deep sea explorers don’t see many creatures? I would think since they never see light, their eyes would be super sensitive to light so they won’t go towards it but run away...
How do we are actually define where the ocean floor is, as I would have thought that even when you hit rocks/mud at the bottom it has a high amount of water in the material?

I seen this movie. Leave it alone.
Just admire it from a distance.
Don't stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.
I know a bit about those.
The brine pools tend to be so salty that nothing can live in them for long. However, they tend to be vital sources of nutrients for nearby communities, which live right at their edge and try to balance safety with resource collection.

Actually I'm pretty sure they already covered these types of vehicles a few months ago.
anyone ever have a science teacher use SciShow in class? My biology 1 teacher did had a lot of fun and now i watch every time they upload!
A free resource for an overburdened educational system. 👍🖖✌
High school, environmental science class!
I'm 25 and still watch because of that class 😂
now I'm thinking about space probes with tethers. Really, really long tethers.
Add a device that climbs along the tether and you've got a space elevator.

Crab Check:
Maybe. No crabs were directly observed.
You don't need new materials to send submarines deeper, Subnautica has shown you only need a new software cylinder upgrade
No!
You just need nothing (you can swim kilometra down without anything).
And also cool robot with drill go brrrrrr

did you guys lose heat in the studio? that jacket looks warm lol
also please bring back sci-show talk show and sci-show quiz show
They've mentioned that the studio is pretty cool.
i have never heard the ocean called "innerspace"
Today is the first time I’ve seen it referred to as inner space
Really read the thumbnail as "Exploring inner peace" and got almost as excited!
You guys are so awesome. Thank you for all that you do.
Can you imagine sinking for 4 and half hours to 11 kilometers underwater and then your window cracks? That's the definition of terror
This conflicts with everything I learned in the 1987 documentary "Inner Space" with Martin Short, Dennis Quaid, and Meg Ryan.
The Nautilus live streams their ROV searches, they are an excellent source of information! Thanks for making a video on this amazing topic! :D
For a second i thought that it said "Exploding Inner Space"

every single time, when i hear my name in the wild (alvin), it is always weird, and shoots me by suprise
Michael is back! 👍🍸😊
I could have sworn Dennis Quaid and Martin Short proved that "Inner Space" is inside our bodies the year I was born.
Please keep doing more videos about deep ocean and cool bodies of water 😁 (and all the weird animals that live down there)
Does he helium distort the voice of the divers, once they are up again?
Only while they are breathing it. Once you start breathing normal air again, your voice returns to normal.
Yeah I saw once in video that they use software to fix the voices back again because helium voices are rather inaudible over radio link
Inner Space is actually any area or ecosystem that is below sea level and is enclosed or encapsulated mostly somehow, so caves also count as Inner Space
Awesome, loved it!
My favorite part of the world to learn about :D
The 1882 Diving suit looks like a smaller Big Daddy, or Big Sister from Bioshock. Love the design.

I think we can all agree The perfect soundtrack for this particularly is The Little mermaid. Unda da sea!
Can that syntactic foam be used in building landers for places like Venus? Or maybe somewhere else with high pressure, but without the hot hellscape?

RoVs are divas. Maintenance is the keyword of a RoV pilot :)
That was great. It was Alvin that discovered Titanic. :)

We gotta donate some space heaters for pbs studios, looks cold in that set 😜
The Monterey Bay Aquarium channel is grest.
9:02 That was a smooth segway to the sponsor. Linus Tech Tips could learn from that. XD
Can you use semantic foam instead?
Er, one error. DSV's are indeed made of titanium, they are WRAPPED in syntactic foam for buoyancy, but the pressure hull is indeed titanium, several inches thick.
This explains why in Subnautica everything is made from Titanium
For reference, I used to design tooling for ROV's used in the GoM.
didnt liberty kids do a episode on the atmospheric diving suit?
he went underwater and tried to drill holes in the bottom of british ships?
I can't believe I'm not the only one who remembers that dhow omg
I didn't know I was terrified of the ocean until this episode

I'm not sure if electricity + water is good idea
@@ImieNazwiskoOK I am not saying electricity

It’s the pressure of the water directly above you. 1 foot is equal to .445 PSI, regardless of the volume.

I can't imagine going down to the dark in one of those suits to discover a new giant squid and then be its first documented meal.
I don't think they need that much iron.
And if you are in submarine they can't do much.
